Martin Wrote:

Rough songwriting demo for "The Elf Police" song cut from the CD "Phineas and Ferb Holiday Favorites".
Written and performed by Bobby Gaylor (singing as Buford) and Martin Olson playing guitar.
Demo produced by Martin Olson
Recorded lo-fi in Martin's office at Disney using Garageband and no mics. This one took one hour to write.

Lyrics:

It's written that Christmas is the happiest holiday
But don't believe everything you read, kid
'Cause there's one elf branch who have Santa's carte blanche
To get the dirt on every bad thing you did
The Elf Police, with their X-ray stare
Can see you chew gum in class and cheat at solitaire
Do anything bad and you better beware
'Cause the Elf Police see everywhere

You can live in an igloo with a polar bear
An ashram, a teepee or a bathysphere
Even in an outhouse, you won't have a prayer
'Cause the Elf Police can see you everywhere

Because the Elf Police see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere

You can live in Nome, Alaska, even live with a gnome
Or in a leaky houseboat on the banks of the Rhone
With chickens in a chicken coop to call your home
But if you've been naughty, don't matter where you roam

Because the Elf Police see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells (repeated over monologue)
Buford: We don't have elf-run jails, but if we did, they'd be full...of people who all year woulda kinda wish they'd been gooder. So be good...

Because the Elf Police see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere

Because the Elf Police see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere
The Elf Police can see you everywhere

Buford: That might've sounded a little paranoid, but they are everywhere. Even in your underwear. You didn't hear that from me. Yeah, I gotta go make my Christmas list.
